Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 337

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Didn't you say you'd never abandon the kids again?" Jay stared intently at her.

Rose averted her gaze, not daring to lock eyes with him.

"Look at me." Jay's tone commanded obedience.

Rose had no other choice but to follow.

"I can look past any mistakes you make, but don't you dare abandon your children." Jay shut his eyes, suppressing as much of his emotions as possible.

Rose blurted out, "I won't abandon them." She said it with conviction.

Jay's eyes shot open to reveal a fiery gaze. His sharp eyes darted across Rose's serious expression.

"But you've already abandoned them, though?" he said coldly.

Rose's lips twitched to counter, though she remained silent in the end.

In her mind surfaced memories of Zayne. He was ever so vain yet shed his expensive status to start his business. She recalled the loneliness in her mother's eyes and the helpless despair in her father's eyes

as

her stepmother mocked him. This was the same man who had once shaken Swallow City with his greatness. Finally, she recalled her grandfather who loved her the most, lying in a cheap hospital since they had no money for better treatment...

This was all her fault.

She had no right to live for herself.

She would have the Severe family rise again at all costs!

She had no other choice but to devote herself to the business world, to mingle with members from all sorts of renowned families, if she wanted to succeed in such a difficult mission.

It was only with him that she would not worry about her children.

By the time she regained her honor, she would then fight him fair and square in court over the custody of her kids. "Why aren't you talking?"

Jay stared at her. It was obvious that she had much going on in her head judging from how her eyes kept shifting. Rose stared back with a subtle glint in her eyes." There'll come a day, Sir Ares, when I take back my children."

A sneer lingered at the corners of Jay's eyes. "Are you provoking me?"

Rose was fearless. "Yes!"

Jay stood up and walked toward her, his immense aura filling the small space between them.

"Good. Very good." His thin lips were pulled into a wicked tilt.

The little wild cat he taught had grown up, and she was clawing at him with her sharpened claws now.

From his mesmerizing voice, Rose could almost hear the telltale sounds of his teeth grinding against each other. He must be feeling frustrated.

At that moment, with bloodshot eyes, Jay gripped her wrists. "Tell me, what do you have to fight against me with?" His grip brought pain to her wrists.

Rose stared blankly at him. He had never been as irked as he was today when she provoked him just as fearlessly before. Disappointment seemed to accompany his anger.

"I'll start my own business, make friends with all sorts of celebrities, become rich..." She listed out the things she would do. Swiftly, it came to him. Was this not what he had taught her?

All traces of Jay's anger vanished, leaving just mirth i

n his eyes.

Rose was vexed. Abruptly, she roared with frustration, "I'll also marry a man great enough to rival you..."

The claim flared Jay's anger in his chest.

His grip on Rose's wrist tightened, the pain threatening tears to spill from her eyes.

"Ow, ow. Let me go."

Jay's tone grew menacing. "Who do you want to marry?"

"Why do you care? All you need to know is that he's going to be more gentle, more gentlemanly, and more handsome than you..."

"Sean Bell?" Jay felt himself go crazy at the thought of her leaving him for Sean Bell.

Rose had come up with it from the top of her head.

Seeing how the mention of Sean Bell had him in a frenzy, it dawned on her that there was no other man in Imperial Capital who could possibly rival Jay Ares. Sean Bell and his ilk were only second to Jay Ares
